PostFROZEN SHOULDER
OR
Adhesive Capsulitis
Frozen shoulder is a condition that affects shoulder joint. Usually it causes pain and stiffness of the shoulder and restricting its movement. It is also called as adhesive capsulitis. Frozen shoulder develops slowly over a period of time and according to its severity it will take three months to three years to resolve completely by exercising and medication.
Shoulder joint is comprised of a ball and socket joint. To move shoulder more easily, Synovial fluid acts as lubricant for the shoulder joint The human shoulder is made up of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (Upper arm bone) as well as associated muscles, ligaments and tendons. The bones, ligaments and tendons make up the shoulder joint are covered in a capsule of connective tissue.
Frozen shoulder may be due to inflammation, thickening and contraction of the capsule, and due to decrease in synovial fluid in the joint which restricts its movement considerably causing severe pain.
Mostly, people who are suffering from diabetes and who have restricted the movement of their shoulder due to fracture, injury, following surgery etc. for a long period will be affected by frozen shoulder.
